patch 9.0.2129: [security]: use-after-free in call_dfunc() Commit: https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/a555069b7d790abedc60edc505bd35bda257949d Author: mityu <mityu.mail@gmail.com> Date: Sat Nov 25 15:41:20 2023 +0100 patch 9.0.2129: [security]: use-after-free in call_dfunc() Problem: [security]: use-after-free in call_dfunc() Solution: Refresh dfunc pointer closes: #13571 This Commit fixes a SEGV caused by a use-after-free bug in call_dfunc(). When calling check_ufunc_arg_types() from the call_dfunc() it may cause def functions to be re-compiled and if there are too many def functions, the def_functions array will be re-allocated. Which means, that the dfunc pointer in call_dfunc() now starts pointing to freed memory. So we need to reset the dfunc pointer after calling check_ufunc_arg_types(). Let's also add a test, to ensure we do not regress.

README_vms.txt for version 9.0 of Vim: Vi IMproved.

This file explains the installation of Vim on VMS systems.
See "README.txt" in the runtime archive for information about Vim.


Most information can be found in the on-line documentation.  Use ":help vms"
inside Vim.  Or get the runtime files and read runtime/doc/os_vms.txt to find
out how to install and configure Vim with runtime files etc.

To compile Vim yourself you need three archives:
  vim-X.X-rt.tar.gz	runtime files
  vim-X.X-src.tar.gz	source files
  vim-X.X-extra.tar.gz	extra source files

Compilation is recommended, in order to make sure that the correct
libraries are used for your specific system.  Read about compiling in
src/INSTALLvms.txt.

To use the binary version, you need one of these archives:

  vim-XX-exe-ia64-gui.zip       IA64 GUI/Motif executables
  vim-XX-exe-ia64-gtk.zip       IA64 GUI/GTK executables
  vim-XX-exe-ia64-term.zip      IA64 console executables
  vim-XX-exe-axp-gui.zip	Alpha GUI/Motif executables
  vim-XX-exe-axp-gtk.zip	Alpha GUI/GTK executables
  vim-XX-exe-axp-term.zip       Alpha console executables
  vim-XX-exe-vax-gui.zip	VAX GUI executables
  vim-XX-exe-vax-term.zip       VAX console executables

and of course
  vim-XX-runtime.zip		runtime files

The binary archives contain: vim.exe, ctags.exe, xxd.exe files,
but there are also prepared "deploy ready" archives:

vim-XX-ia64.zip			GUI and console executables with runtime and
				help files for IA64 systems
vim-XX-axp.zip			GUI and console executables with runtime and
				help files for Alpha systems
vim-XX-vax.zip			GUI and console executables with runtime and
				help files for VAX systems

GTK builds need LIBGTK library installed.

These executables and up to date patches for OpenVMS system are downloadable
from http://www.polarhome.com/vim/ or ftp://ftp.polarhome.com/pub/vim/
